I have been craving a really good cookie for some time now....I saw an oatmeal choc. nib cookie and I tweeked it. It came out absolutely wonderful! It tastes like oatmeal cookie dough..yummy!

**Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies**

1/4 cup raisins, soaked 15 min.
6 dates, soaked 15 min.
1 Tbs. cocoa powder (or carob)
1 tsp. coconut oil or light olive oil
1/2 cup each cashews and almonds, soaked 15 min.
1/2 cup raw oats
1 1/2 cups dried coconut flakes
3 1/2 Tbs. honey or agave
2 Tbs. raw almond butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp vanilla (opt...but adds good flavor)
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Process nuts, oats, coconut, cocoa, cinnamon and salt in food processor until crumbly. Add honey, coconut butter/oil, almond butter, vanilla and blend. Add drained raisins/dates to mix. Blend until mixed well...and it looks like cookie dough. Form into small balls and flatten slightly. Either dehydrate for a couple of hours, or just place in fridge for 2 hours and then gobble em up! You can also freeze them. All of the ways are great....you can always just eat it straight from the food processor as well....lol. :D

I bet you could sub the raisins with cacao nibs? I don't have any raisins, so I'm gonna try that...
Well DUH me! I just re-read your original post. So I'm reverting back to the original recipe. SHEESH! I am so dumb sometimes!!!

they sound yummy; just a couple of those would probably hit the spot and satisfy me for a long time

Quick note: the original recipe did not soak the dates/raisins. I only soaked my raisins and dates because my raisins were reeeeally dry, as well as my dates were not that moist. (the original recipe called for honey dates unsoaked..which I think are pretty sticky and moist)

Soooo, if your raisin arent as dry as mine were...you might find that the recipe comes out better if you dont soak the raisins. ;)

However, I can only imagine whatever option you do...they still will come out juuuust find. :D
